Homework is an important part of the total instructional
program. The purposes of homework are to strengthen learning
activities, to reinforce skills, to prepare for tests, to
provide background information, and to develop good study
habits. When appropriately implemented, this policy will help
students to develop good study habits, to gain expanded
knowledge, and to increase their facility for exploring projects
with greater creativity. Students will also learn to budget
their time more effectively. Parent cooperation is essential to
successfully bring home and school together to promote learning.
Each student should have a specific time and place for
evening/afternoon homework. Parents are encouraged to help their
children develop good study habits. Occasional assignments that
involve parents can strengthen parental support for students’
learning efforts. Students who get their homework finished and
turned in on time are more likely to cooperate in the classroom
because they know what is going on. Students who do not finish
their homework, are more likely to fall behind in their school
work and not have the motivation to catch up and be able to
participate more in classroom discussions and activities.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Bromiley
